Sorry for the delay, been busy with house projects. In HA you need to
have the Logitech Squeezebox integration installed. In LMS using the
Group plug-in you create a player group (Master Power) that contains all
the players you want to turn off. This group becomes an Entity in HA
which you can use as a on/off toggle in a Media Card in Lovelace. With
Developer Tools -> Services you can set up a simple Service Call to turn
off (or on or change volume or etc) and test to make sure these work
(see below). You can use the standard Media Card in HA or download some
custom button cards such as "mattieha / slider-button-card" which offer
some cool features and use this Service Call here.
service: media_player.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id: group.music
The issue I came across is minor but bothered me. You can have multiple
Groups and if you're playing one then call the Master Power Group to
turn off the music the previously playing Group remains active in the
Material Group dropdown even though all the players are off. You have to
toggle this off then back on to start up the music again. So what I did
in HA was create a "Music Group" that contains all "LMS Players and
Groups" and I use this "group.music" to turn off all players and groups.
In my case we'd want everything turned off at one time.
_HA_Group_
music:
name: Music
entities:
- media_player.bb_room
- media_player.lg_squeezebox
- media_player.sunroom
- media_player.picoreplayer
- media_player.master_power
- media_player.whole_house
- media_player.living_sun_room
Also in LMS I recommend you set all players and groups to not
automatically start when you turn them on, you might wake the dead by
mistake!
Using an IKEA Zigbee Button and On/Off Switch we have "Master Turn Off"
and a "Volume Up/Down button" on the frig. She now has complete power
over my music. Good thing she likes me! :D
